The bad weather is pretty far north of us. We have received some of the effects of it - rain & some wind - but they have not been dangerous, except for the turbulent surf. Thanks for your care, Ellen. & wow! Our weather made international news! Ha! I’m safe, Ellen. The bad weather is pretty far north of us.

A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT VERY COLD AIR AND STRONG WINDS WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE LOW WIND CHILLS. THIS WILL RESULT IN FROST BITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN. IF YOU MUST VENTURE OUTDOORS...MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A HAT AND GLOVES." Venture outdoors? Me? Not likely.
